64 only Latch cover attempt #1 and some questions

[66Dvert]

just tried to do a quicky formed part. ehhh. FAIL but I think I can get it to work with a bit of help. different angle on the mounting and raising it to help webbing should be a 50% improvement and then I'll work on making it an actual part. BTW if Sileng1 looks at this can you get me a dimension on where the flat dogleg comes off of your 66 one?

Getting measurements now.

How is this?

So, in true Chrysler fashion:
Corners are almost all rounded with 1/4”
Cuts are not perfectly square and the cut out for the trunk popper is tapered a bit.

Once I get this pain in the behind 64 one formed and working, when I go to the 65-6 ones I may open up that taper and square thing up. but I'll have to fit it to a car after that. THANKS for the response it really helps (both picture and drawing!)

Bwahahahha A success sort of . It's thinner than I'd like on the sides, but it didn't blow out or crush the mold this time. I'll be changing a few things here and there and go up to .125 ABS to make it easier to pull off and help thicken the sides a tiny bit. Now all I have to do is figure out where it's got to be cut (and straight also) to actually be a part for the 64's .. next up is the 65-6's after I make sure I can do them. whew!

Not as crisp as I'd like and a little too thin on the sides but Closer and closer do I creep!Now I have to learn how to cut straight ,,,hmmm that's going to be harder then making the darned part!

Honestly the factory units I have are all wafer thin on the flats. How they survived 60 years I have no idea. Probably explains why they all are cracked. Don’t beat yourself up over it.

I may CHEAT big time and make them a tiny bit bigger and then Glue/ add in some 0.030 internal sidewall stiffeners I just can't stand it being that thin. I'd at least like to make my part a bit better than originals even if they are not as crisp I want them to last.
